Martha and I have seen two (quite different) Adams exhibits in the
Boston area in the past eight or ten years. Both were well worth
seeing. Watch for the enormous murals he did for some San Francisco
bank and for the picture of one of the minor falls in (I think)
Yosemite, where he overprinted a mirror image to enhance the effect.
Adams is one of the more interesting photographers of his time. Like
Benjamin Franklin, he was arguably born too early to get the most out
of his life. If Adams were, say, fifty years old today, he might be
the world's leading expert on Photoshop.


Absolutely true, and yet the f64 school claims to abhor image
manipulation with PS.

Since when did any of the members of the f/64 school ever have access
to PS?



I was talking about the modern day successors, such as Stephen Johnson,
who believes that PS should only be used to make only those PS
adjustments that do minor color adjustments, levels, curves, etc. No
removal of objects; no image distortion, etc.I took a one week workshop
with him, and admire and respect him. At the end of April I am going ot
a half day seminar his is conducting. But that doesn't mean I agree with
his style.

Good for you.
We all like differing things in this life and just because anyone does
something a certain way doesn't mean that is the only way. Finding your
own style gives a person pleasure.

It was my wife's birthday last saturday and the whole family went for a
meal at one of the local chines restaurants. My daughter had forgotten her
camera and mine was the only one at the dinner. After the dinner Marion
(my daughter) asked if she could download the photos (only a few) for her
album on her tablet.

The difference between our results was amazing.
